scabbard bands appear to be separate pieces which is correct...it is missing the scabbard throat.
All the right detail is there IMO...but Danny and Oleg can comment further.

Any additional thoughts on these scabbards?

IMO a fake scabbard: scabbard eyelets have a single band instead of 3, for me that is typical repro style.
I'm missing the 2 sidescrew holes on top for the throat.

Hi guys,
I agree with Ger. The scabbard looks to be a postwar repro. And I must say a good repro (scabbard body, not the eyelets, of course).
Best,
Oleg.
Thank you for the information and help from all. It looks like the guy kept all of the repro stuff in one place. There was only a few small parts that I believe are correct. Hopefully, I will be going back over there to look at the helmets, caps and visors. The ones I looked at look good so far.
